chadhi tere bimar-e-furqat ko tab hai
bashiddat qalaq hai nihayat tab hai

mariz-e-mohabbat tera jaan-ba-lab hai
tajahul sitam hai taghaful ghazab hai

wo aafat hai aafat hai aafat hai aafat
ghazab hai ghazab hai ghazab hai ghazab hai

gali yar ki hai qadam rakhkhun kyun-kar
chalun sar ke bal yan maqam-e-adab hai

jo abru dikhaya to aariz bhi dikhla
wo quran hai ye hilal-e-rajab hai

hui subh-e-piri kati ab jawani
ye jalna faqat shama-san shab ki shab hai

wo zulf-e-siyah hai ki mushk-e-khutan hai
nahin khat sawad-e-dayar-e-halab hai

khula kuchh na mujh par na aane ka mansha
jihat kuchh to farmaiye kya sabab hai

jo shajara tha majnun ka shajara hai mera
jo tha qais ka silsila wo nasab hai

ghanimat samajh waqt-e-fursat ko ghafil
na hath aaega phir ye mauqa jo ab hai

khuda ki khudai ka jalwa hai o but
ye husn-e-jawani nahin shan-e-rab hai

karun kyun na saman-e-ishrat muhayya
shab-e-wasl-e-dilbar urusi ki shab hai

jise log kahte hain shah-e-khurasan
wo be-shubah ibn-e-amir-e-arab hai

ghulam us ka hun jo hai kausar ka saqi
jabhi 'rind' mai-khwar mera laqab hai
